I've been having humidity issues with my new 9kish watt sealed grow room especially with the summer temps. Bare bulb setup, RDWC, my light-on humidity is below 20%.
In my previous setups, I was able to use a high-output swamp cooler to increase the humidity. However, the problem with the new location is the tap water temp is coming out at 80F, which reduces its effectiveness.
I bought the hydrofogger (the bigger one) and it's a well-made unit. It has a built-in float valve (1/4" OD tubing) and is a simple plug-n-play. You can either buy their humidity controller or use any of the other humidity controllers out there. It produces a very nice fine mist of water vapor, even though my water temp is fairly high. The throw distance isn't very far and it seems to travel only a few feet before the lights evaporate it. I'll give it a few days to see how well it works and most likely, for my room, i'll need 2 at opposite sides.
It's an expensive item and I wish I could source it from China (odds are it's probably 50-100 wholesale), but it seems like the company has a good control over distribution; I couldn't find anyone else selling it for cheaper.
Overall, a good item to use if you're having a humidity problems. I'll probably bring in my swamp cooler when winter rolls around since the throw distance plus cooler water temps works very well.
